After the 49ers’ failed two-point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, Colin Kaepernick came to the sideline second-guessing himself: Why didn’t he target Michael Crabtree in such a big moment?

In a fascinating exchange, Kaepernick and Crabtree had a prophetic conversation after the quarterback’s two-point-conversion pass sailed over wide receiver Randy Moss, who was lined up on the left side.

In the right corner of the end zone, Crabtree was running a fade pattern while covered by Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith, who held him at the line (sound vaguely familiar?).

As captured on “NFL Turning Point” on the NBC Sports Network, Kaepernick approached Crabtree after the two-point attempt. Kaepernick leaned down to speak with Crabtree, who was sitting next to wide receiver A.J. Jenkins on the bench. The 49ers were trailing 31-29 with 9:57 left.

Kaepernick: “I should have just gave you a shot right there. That’s my fault. That’s my fault all the way.”

Crabtree: “You know what I’m saying? Throw that thing up. I’m going to make an effort.”

Kaepernick: “I owe you one. I owe you one.”

With that, Kaepernick and Crabtree slapped hands and the quarterback walked away.

Eight minutes later, Kaepernick’s final three passes were intended for Crabtree after the 49ers were facing 2nd-and-goal at Baltimore’s 5-yard line.

On fourth down, Kaepernick called an audible when he saw Crabtree, again, matched up against Smith on the right side. Crabtree ran a fade against Smith, who, again, was handsy in coverage. Kaepernick’s pass, again, was off the mark.

He no doubts regrets not making a better throw. On Tuesday, though, he wasn’t second-guessing his decision to throw to a receiver who believed he couldn’t be stopped in the red zone.
